Jenna, the online fitness trainer, also influences her children to embrace fitness. In the post, which is pinned, on her Instagram feed, the daughter of Jenna could be seen doing a deadlift and some weight lifts with a kettlebell. “My 6-year-old 1st grader showing off her deadlifting skills for her school talent contest, DL 65 lbs 10 lbs over her body weight,” writes Jenna in the caption.
